WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

When couples enter the therapy office, they sting with pain and despair. They look to the clinician to referee chronic conflicts, fix their partners, and rebuild burned bridges. Now, based on Dr. John Gottman’s 40 years of compelling research with over 3,000 couples, there’s a practical and highly effective approach to guiding couples across the chasm that divides them.

In this workshop, you will be provided with a research-based roadmap for helping couples compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams.

The Friendship System – the foundation for intimacy, passion, and good sex

The Conflict System – the basis for helping couples identify and address solvable problems, and understand and manage irresolvable differences

The Shared Meaning System – the existential foundation of the relationship that helps partners discover their shared purpose for building a life together

Research-based strategies and tools to help couples successfully manage conflict

Skills to empower partners to dialogue about their worst gridlocked issues by uncovering their underlying dreams, history, and values
